Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

"If they behaved themselves, how would I have an excuse to take action? Where would we get all the facilities and equipment for our Illusionary Sound Academy?"

A chilling smile curled at the corner of his lips; Hai Liuyun had long been prepared to unleash a massacre.

He wasn't stupid; he could naturally figure out that the group that attacked and killed Huanyin Academy back then was definitely led by Tianyin Academy. The familiar aura he sensed in Sos's body just now further confirmed his guess.

That was a head spirit bone that his wife obtained when she was hunting for her eighth spirit ring. At that time, he only found his wife's mutilated body, and he didn't even find her head. So the head spirit bone naturally disappeared as well.

But now it's happening to Soth, and the reason why is obvious even to a fool, which is why I decisively killed him.

Tian Hao remained silent, secretly marveling at how shrewd the old fox was; this teacher clearly intended to push things to the extreme and destroy Tianyin Academy from the very root.

However, it's not hard to understand, since the Illusionary Sound Academy was secretly destroyed by the Heavenly Sound Academy, and the teacher's wife died tragically on the spot, with her head being taken away to extract her soul bone.

After experiencing such a situation, it would be strange if the teacher couldn't be ruthless.

"Your only opponent this time is Tang Yuehua. Defeat her, take her as your wife. Our Huanyin Academy needs someone like her. As your teacher, I also need her to carry on my legacy and take care of me in my old age. Afterwards, you will also need her talent field to assist you in the Soul Master Competition."

Despite the telepathic instruction, Hai Liuyun still coveted Tang Yuehua and wished he could immediately take her under his wing.

"We're running an academy, not a den of bandits."

Tian Hao's face twitched slightly; he felt that this teacher's style was becoming more and more down-to-earth.

"Who isn't a bandit in this world?"

With a cold laugh, Hai Liuyun was no longer the same person he was more than a decade ago. The tragedy of that year made him realize the true nature of this world—cannibalism.

It's cruel, but it's true.

"Regardless of whether that girl makes a move or not, you have to get her to come over here, understand?"

Suddenly, he spotted a stunningly beautiful woman with flowing blue hair. Hai Liuyun's eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled his cheap disciple over to give him a serious pep talk.

This cheap disciple is unreliable; we must find another reliable one.

Once the Spirit Hall destroys the Clear Sky Sect in the future, that girl will become a pitiful homeless person, and she can stay in her own Illusionary Sound Academy as the dean.

That kind of emotional field is perfect for pursuing a career in music.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Way of Music may seem weak and lacking in strength. As a master in this field, he knows very well how terrifying it is, even more so than the Way of the Sword.

It's not just its area-of-effect attack that's remarkable; more importantly, it's capable of engaging players on a deep emotional level. Once used in large-scale warfare, it becomes a strategic asset.

Of course, he had to work on that girl's mindset; otherwise, even he could only let her leave peacefully after giving birth.

"I still think it's safer to turn her into a specimen or a soul tool. Someone as intelligent as her is hard to control."

Tian Hao secretly suggested again through the mental link that he really disliked dealing with that kind of smart woman.

One Qianruyi is bad enough, I really don't want another one.

There aren't many women with high intelligence in Douluo Continent, but Tang Yuehua is definitely one of them. Moreover, the fact that she was able to move among various powerful figures after the Clear Sky Sect closed its gates is proof of her ability. She even managed to train Tang San.

She is no ordinary woman.

"It's good that you can't let women affect your judgment, but can you have some limits? Stop thinking about killing her all the time."

Hai Liuyun was both pleased and troubled; this disciple's thought process was a bit off.

Chapter 151 Seven Treasures Climbing the Mountain

Tian Hao chatted with his teacher as they walked, and soon they arrived at an ancient and magnificent concert hall.

Calling it a concert hall isn't quite right; it should be called a performance venue because it's open-air and extremely large, enough to accommodate thousands of people.

As his name suggests, Zhao Tieshan, whose physique was as imposing as a mountain, stepped forward and took out an old animal skin scroll, which he then unfolded.

"I, Zhao Tieshan, the Hall Master of the Spirit Hall of Tianyin City, represent the Spirit Hall to witness the duel between Tianyin Academy and Huanyin Academy. According to the contract set by our ancestors, the students of both academies will compete in musical prowess. The winner will be able to hold the Tianyin Academy's inheritance badge and obtain the qualification of an advanced spirit master academy."

I, Zhao Tieshan, swear in the name of the Angel God that I will ensure fairness and impartiality in this competition. If either party has any objection to the final judgment, they may bring evidence and video recordings to the Papal Palace in Wuhun City to appeal.

However, during the competition, no force may be used to overturn the judgment results; violators will be considered to be provoking the Spirit Hall…

He unfolded the animal hide scroll, turned it over, and let everyone see it before revealing the basic rules.

Although he only has the cultivation level of a Soul Saint, he is qualified to represent the Spirit Hall and serve as a referee for the competition between the two academies.

No one objected to this, not even Matt, the furious vice-dean of Tianyin Academy.

He wasn't stupid, so naturally he wouldn't do something as foolish as provoking the Spirit Hall.

"It's been found out. The kid following Hai Liuyun is his disciple. For the past month or so, he's been singing in the commoner districts on the outskirts of the city, creating many new songs. I heard he's very popular with those lowly people."

A college teacher quickly approached Matt and whispered the information he had just gathered.

"Creative type?"

Matt understood that the kid was Hai Liuyun's trump card, but it seemed that there was only one of him.

"Vice Dean, don't be careless. That person's talent in music and songs is no less than Yuehua's. Currently, apart from Yuehua, no one in the Music Academy can rival him."

Xueye sat down next to Matt and gave him a meaningful reminder, his eyes fixed on the figure, his heart filled with hatred and murderous intent.

He and Tang Yuehua were progressing well, especially during the process of hunting for spirit rings in the Soul Hunting Forest, he could clearly feel that Tang Yuehua was accepting him.

But then something unexpected appeared out of nowhere, completely drawing Tang Yuehua's attention away.

For the past month or so, aside from listening to music in the first half of the night, he has spent the rest of his time composing music, and his rest time has been compressed. He wants to speak but doesn't know what to say.

His carefully laid plans and marriage were interrupted, and even with his calm demeanor, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. Naturally, he didn't want to see the other party represent Huanyin Academy and defeat Tianyin Academy.

Given Tang Yuehua's hidden pride, if that person were to defeat her in music, it would definitely leave an indelible impression, and he might even fall in love with her directly. In that case, she would truly have no chance at all.

"Could Your Highness possibly find a Title Douluo to oversee things for me?"

After taking a deep look at Tian Hao, who was standing behind Hai Liuyun, Matt used his soul power to transmit his request.

He was one of the few people who knew Tang Yuehua's true identity. He knew that the Yuehua mentioned in the snowy night was Lingyue, and he was also aware of Tang Yuehua's talent and aptitude in music, which was said to be a once-in-a-century talent.

But since Hai Liuyun dared to come, he must have enough confidence, and they might really lose.

Since there's a possibility of losing, we must be prepared to lose.

As long as Hai Liuyun is killed in the end, the academy's legacy badge will still belong to them. The most important thing is to kill Hai Liuyun and eliminate any future troubles.

"I want Dean Soth's complete set of soul bones."

Xue Ye stated his conditions, and he was naturally aware of the talent and potential of Dean Sos of Tianyin Academy. His ability to become a Title Douluo must have been due to the power of soul bones, and there were definitely more than one.

According to the information he obtained, the old guy had at least three soul bones. Although none of them were very old, they were enough to create a Title Douluo.

"make a deal."

Recalling Hai Liuyun's sword strike, Matt finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

Have the two of you arrived yet?

Feeling quite satisfied, Xue Ye immediately turned to Earl Xue Long beside him and asked.

"We've already sent someone over. With His Majesty's abilities, they'll be here very soon once they receive the notification."

Xuelong replied in a low voice that the two of them had actually arrived in Tianyin City several days ago.

However, instead of entering the city, they went straight to the isolated peak outside the city.

At the same time, on a solitary peak more than ten miles away, Ning Fengzhi stepped forward one stone step at a time, his expression extremely solemn.

"According to intelligence, there have been unusual movements on this mountain four months ago, but all those who came to investigate have disappeared without a trace, and I'm afraid they are in grave danger."

As he walked, Ning Fengzhi observed carefully, his mind growing increasingly heavy.

His purpose in coming here was to bring Crown Prince Xueye back to Tiandou City as soon as possible. After all, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had placed all their hopes on Crown Prince Xueye. However, he couldn't understand the orders given by the Tiandou Emperor a few days ago, and he felt that there were unknown variables.

That's why he personally brought Bone Douluo to meet them, lest any accidents ruin the sect's plans and investments.

"It is sword energy, but not the Seven Kill Sword Energy of the old sword master. There are three kinds of sword marks. It should be that three people used sword energy to carve them out."

Stroking the smooth side of the rock, the ancient banyan tree asserted.

He had spent many years with his old friend Chenxin and had a deep understanding of swordsmanship, so he could see many problems.

The feat of chiseling a mountain with sword energy is quite terrifying, although in the face of the sword energy of a high-level Soul Master, a rock is not much stronger than rotten wood.

But that would consume soul power. The amount of soul power required to carve out such a huge mountain with sword energy is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Even if three Sword Douluo came, Chen Xin would not be able to carve out such a large mountain within three months. After all, even the soul power of a Title Douluo is not infinite, and the recovery speed is not very fast.

He really couldn't understand this.

"Since the cataclysmic changes in the world, the world of Soul Masters has undergone tremendous changes, and the future will be even more exciting and cruel."

Ning Fengzhi had mixed feelings, with both expectations and worries about the future.

“I’m afraid I alone won’t be enough. Feng Zhi, you can try to win over that Dugu Bo. His martial spirit and soul skills are very intimidating.”

Gu Rong thought of the Dugu family member he had met last year. His martial spirit and soul skills had left a deep impression on him, and he had the potential to achieve a title.

“No, Dugu Bo is on good terms with Prince Xue Xing, and the Tian Dou royal family also attaches great importance to him. I cannot interfere.”

Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly. He had also considered trying to win over Dugu Bo, whose poison-attribute martial soul was a strategic asset.

If they could cooperate with Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and with the assistance of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, they would be enough to intimidate all forces in the world.

Unfortunately, Dugu Bo has already been targeted by the Heavenly Dou Royal Family. If he were to try to win him over, he would inevitably anger the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, which would be a losing proposition.

"But it was Prince Xuexing who came forward to befriend Dugu Bo, not the Tiandou royal family itself."

The ancient banyan tree spoke with profound meaning.

Although he wasn't good at these kinds of things, he had lived to be so old and had experienced many ups and downs, so he had unique insights into many things.

"We need to take an extra layer of insurance."

Recalling the sudden change in Emperor Tiandou and his favor towards Prince Xuezhan, Ning Fengzhi also felt that he needed to prepare a backup plan.

If it really is the case that Prince Xue Zhan has turned the tables and ascended the throne, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as a force supporting Prince Xue Ye, will certainly not be trusted by him, even if he doesn't purge them later.

If that time comes, and if we can recruit a strategic figure like Dugu Bo and devote all our resources to helping him become a Title Douluo, his deterrent power would probably be even more terrifying than that of Bone Douluo.

"It must be someone from the snowy night."

Suddenly turning his head to look down the mountain, Bone Douluo sensed a soul force rapidly approaching, guessing that it must be someone sent by the Snow Night Prince.
